When a conventional company has a recall, it is usually actually a large number of different brands and formulas and they have known about the problem for some time but have delayed doing the right thing until FDA is breathing down their necks. When a natural or holistic company has a recall, it is often only 1 or 2 formulas and they have issued the recall before there have been any reports of sick animals and sometimes before the product is even widely distributed. They recall as a precaution. Look at the recent recall for the Honest Kitchen. Their testing found that some parsley was comtaminated so they did a recall even though they had had no reports of any sicknesses. They tested the foods that they got back from the recall and didn’t find a problem in any of the batches.. For them, one sick dog is too many. For Diamond hundreds of dead dogs aren’t. That’s the difference.
